Taking Off: Sacramento International Airport's New Terminal B

In 2008, the Sacramento County Airport System broke ground on
the largest capital improvement project in the history of the
County of Sacramento: "The Big Build." The $1.03 billion terminal
modernization project replaced the airport's original, aging
Terminal B to meet the rising demand for passenger services and
improve the airport's ability to attract new carriers and routes.
The Central Terminal B complex is three times the size of the
original Terminal B with the two parts of the
complex, connected by an automated people mover. (source:

the October 6th opening and on the economics behind the new
terminal. Joe Rubin is looking into some of the environmental stories

of the local restaurateurs who will be operating in Terminal B. And
